Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a device for carrying out electrochemical and topographic near-field microscopy at the same time.
- ultramicro probes for the laterally resolved characterization of sample surfaces provides quantitative or semi-quantitative statements about quantities such as surface activity / surface reactivity, about the kinetics of heterogeneous and homogeneous electron transfer reactions, about corrosion processes, about the activity of biological components and systems (e.g. the quantification of enzyme activities, the Investigation of mass transfer phenomena on membranes, tissues and tissue parts, metabolic activities of single cells, cell groups and cell clusters, as well as organ parts and organs) and can also be applied to the wide area of laterally resolved surface modification by means of etching (removal of material) or deposition (application of material) become.
- the image obtained represents a superimposition of the influences of the surface electrochemical activity and the distance between the sample surface and the probe on the measured Faraday 'see current at the ultramicroelectrode. These interference influences increase proportionally with the decrease in the electroactive probe area.
- First approaches to solve this problem are based, firstly, on a vertical modulation of the electrode in order to be able to distinguish between conductive regions with a current rise and non-conductive regions with a current decrease (cf.ipf et al., Anal. Che. 64 ( 1992), 1362-1367,).
- the microelectrode can track the topography using a logic circuit, but not in the peripheral regions between conductive and non-conductive.
- the distance control is based on convective effects, which lead to changes in current when the probe moves quickly perpendicular to the surface (cf. Borgwarth et al., Ber. Bunsenges. Phys. Chem. 98 (1994), 1317).
- Ludwig et al. described a current-independent height control based on an optical detection principle.
- a laser beam focused on the tip of the probe generates a Fresnel diffraction pattern, which is detected on a split photodiode and amplified using a lock-in technique.
- Macpherson et al. Macpherson et al., Anal. Chem., 72 (2000), 276).
- the basis for this is the production of microelectrodes, the geometry and properties of which are adapted to an AFM cantilever.
- a fine tip is formed on one side of a platinum wire by etching and the part of the wire behind it is pressed flat. Bending the tip by 90 ° creates an electrode similar to the cantilever, which is insulated with the help of an electro-deposition varnish with the exception of the electrode tip.
- the flattened part Due to its elasticity, the flattened part is used for distance control based on the force interaction between the sample and the probe in the near field.
- sample surfaces eg ultrafiltration membranes
- sample surfaces eg ultrafiltration membranes
- electrodes with a range of variation of the electroactive area in the um and sub- ⁇ m range could be produced, whereby a hemispherical geometry was assumed in a simplified manner and the electroactive area was estimated using cyclic voltammetry.
- the electrically active area of the microsensor can be reduced and the positioning of the electrode absolutely completely independent of the current. This requires a decoupling of the distance information and the electrochemical signal.
- the topographical information should be guaranteed with the highest possible resolution.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide a device which enables simultaneous but decoupled direct determination of topology and of electrochemical activity.
- the shape of the device or the integrated or combined ultramicroelectrode, the electrically active area and the ratio of the electrode area to the distance from the surface should be variable.
- a method for producing such devices is to be made available which is highly reproducible, allows simple series production and enables optimum measurement performance.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by a method for producing a device for the simultaneous implementation of electrochemical and topological near-field microscopy, in which a probe which is suitable for topological imaging by near-field technology has a conductive one Material is covered, the conductive material is covered with an insulating layer and the conductive material and the insulating layer in the region of the immediate tip of the probe is removed.
- a probe which is suitable for topological imaging by near-field technology has a conductive one Material is covered, the conductive material is covered with an insulating layer and the conductive material and the insulating layer in the region of the immediate tip of the probe is removed.
- the method according to the invention ensures that the area for the near-field electrochemical measurement of the device, which is defined by the conductive material, which can remove the signals received from the sample surface after removal of the insulating layer, does not extend to the outermost tip of the device, but rather starts at a defined distance from the immediate tip of the device (where the interaction for topological examination of the surface takes place). This not only prevents the risk of the electrochemical near-field measuring device coming into contact with the surface, but also a negative influence on the topological near-field measurement.
- the electrochemical near-field measurement can be easily connected to the topological near-field measurement by applying and isolating a conductive material.
- a conductive material By removing conductive material and insulating layer in the area
- the immediate tip of the device is not only made functional again for the (probe) tip required for topological near-field measurement, but also an area is created with which the conductive material for measuring surface effects in the electrochemical near-field is made accessible again.
- the insulating layer over the conductive material means that the signals only enter the area that has been deliberately exposed.
- the area for electrochemical near-field microscopy is created by covering the device for topographical near-field measurement ("tip", cantilever ") with a conductive material.
- This covering can be complete (" covering "), but it is also possible to cover only certain areas of the device for topographical near-field measurement (for example in the form of conductor tracks along the longitudinal axis of the cantilever) with conductive material.
- the device for topographical near-field measurement is itself conductive (for example with scanning tunneling microscope tips; "scanny tunneling microscopy (STM); or with” scanning nearfield optical microscopy “(SNOM) tips)
- the device according to the invention must of course first this conductive device itself is insulated and the conductive material for electrochemical near-field measurement is present on this insulating layer
- the isolated form of the device for topographical near-field measurement is covered (at least partially) with the conductive material around the device for electrochemical near-field measurement to create, which in turn must also be isolated (except for the measuring range).
- This isolation of the device according to the invention is essential since the electrochemical near-field measurement must always be carried out in the liquid medium (electrolyte; liquid, conductive phase), and accordingly the parts of the device for the electrochemical near-field measurement that are not used for direct measurement (“measuring range”), protects against the liquid medium present during the measurement, which usually covers the surface to be measured, so that there is no undesirable influence on this measurement.
- the manner in which the topological near-field probe is covered with the conductive material is not critical, in general it will be preferred for procedural reasons that the topological near-field probe is encased with the conductive material. However, it is also possible, for example, to provide only one side of the probe with the conductive material. It is only essential that the conductive layer is fed from the area in which the electrochemical near-field interaction with the surface is to be measured in another area of the electrode to a suitable contact point at which the measurement signal can be derived.
- the preferred conductive materials are either metals or they contain a metallic component, in particular a transition metal, the use of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, tungsten, cadmium, aluminum, rhodium, iridium, copper, mercury alloys, platinum-iridium Alloy, platinum-rhodium alloy, carbon, carbon electrode-glassy carbon, highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), is particularly preferred.
- materials such as polysilicon, e.g. doped, metal nitrides (TiN, TaN, ...) or all suicides (tungsten silicide, tantalum silicide, ...) are considered as preferred materials.
- the way in which the probe suitable for topological near-field measurement is covered with the conductive material is not critical and depends on the material to be applied in each case. Particularly proven methods include ion sputtering, electron sputtering, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) deposition, electroless plating, electroplating etc., but in particular liquid phase deposition processes and spin coating processes can also be used advantageously.
- the layer of conductive material is preferably covered with the insulating layer by deposition from the gas phase by means of a CVD process, but in particular also by means of a plasma-assisted CVD process, ion sputtering, electron sputtering, electroless plating, electroplating and application of insulating polymer layers , but in detail there are also rivers Sig phase deposition processes and spin coating processes are conceivable. With the insulation, it must be ensured that the conductive material is completely covered so that the conductive material (apart from the measuring range that will later be exposed) has no contact with the electroactive medium.
- a specific area of the conductive layer is exposed by deliberately removing the insulating layer and the layer of conductive material.
- the removal of the conductive material and / or the removal of the insulating layer is preferably carried out by a focused ion beam, optionally a neutral particle beam, by an etching process, by laser or by focused electromagnetic waves, the removal by focused ion beam being particularly preferred (see, for example, Matsui et al ., Nanotechnology 7 (1996), 247-258).
- the device according to the invention can also be equipped with further layers or different layer sequences, and can be provided with a modified electrode which can be used as a microbiosensor, e.g. as an enzyme electrode, pH-sensitive ultramicroelectrode, potentiometric or amperometric ultramicroelectrode, ion-sensitive ultramicroelectrode, ion-selective ultramicroelectrode, polymer-modified ultramicroelectrode, biomimetic ultramicroelectrode.
- a modified electrode which can be used as a microbiosensor, e.g. as an enzyme electrode, pH-sensitive ultramicroelectrode, potentiometric or amperometric ultramicroelectrode, ion-sensitive ultramicroelectrode, ion-selective ultramicroelectrode, polymer-modified ultramicroelectrode, biomimetic ultramicroelectrode.
- the number and arrangement of the different areas for electrochemical near-field measurement in a multi-electrode and multi-sensor configuration of this type can accordingly be expanded as desired, in which this layer sequence and number of layers are varied in order to enable multi-parameter measurements, such as simultaneous, electrochemical, topographic and pH mapping.
- a preferred variant of the method according to the invention therefore relates to a method in which a conductive material which is covered with an insulating layer is in turn applied to the insulating layer and this application of conductive material and covering with an insulating layer may be repeated a number of times before the various conductive layers in the measuring area are exposed again.
- the probe that can be used for topological near-field measurement as the base body of the ultramicroelectrode according to the invention is preferably a probe made of metal, an insulator, a semiconductor, a light guide or a waveguide. If the probe is an electrical conductor, it must first be provided with an insulating layer, after which the method according to the invention can then be carried out.
